coullstar 0 Posted August 19, 2004 I am going to do the dual exhaust cam swap this weekend and I was wondering if I have to take both cams out just to replace the inlet? Can you just take the caps of the inlet and pivot it out? I am trying to do as little as possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted August 19, 2004 you're best off taking both out else you'll have lots of fun trying to get the cam chain back on and getting 'em timed up properly! :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted August 19, 2004 All I have to do is put a reference mark on the chain/chainwheel from the old one and line this up with the new timing mark if you get my drift. I'm just one of those people that doesnt like to mess with things too much as there is more chance of breaking bits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted August 20, 2004 WOOOOOOOOAAAA You have got a chainwheel with a new keyway cut havent you??? If your just guna flip the cam over without the modded wheel it will run like shite and go even worse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flusted 0 Posted August 21, 2004 Dont want people to go wrong where i have before! When my car went to stealth it was 2 teeth retarded on cam belt due to woodruff key snapping which made the chainwheels a tooth out each way NOT GOOD!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted August 21, 2004 Well its done and I what a bitch it is to time. Got there in the end and was 1 tooth ou ton the cam to start with and then the cam belt tensioner slackened off when I started it :shock: which got my attention. Had a quick trip but didnt really feel much difference. I think the car reall need setting up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted August 21, 2004 I didn't think it was night and day when I did this swap to my C. At the time I was a bit disappointed. It wasn't until I got on the motorway that I really noticed the difference. Not having to change out of 5th to accelerate from 70 was the main thing I noticed. I sold the car to a mate and he swapped the cam back prior to selling it on and commented on how flat it felt afterwards. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
